Does anyone remember the syndicated show "The Bravest", chhronicling firefighters from some of the busiest departments in the nation. In the NYC area, it was shown on CBS at 2AM. Since most other TV stations did the same, "The Bravest" was never really given a chance and was cancelled.

It was basically like "Cops"......the videographers has incredible access, incuding using footage obtained by cameras mounted on the firefighter.

Also, since they filmed FDNY members just before 9/11, several members who succumbed to that tragedy are shown inaction.

Well, it's now available on DVD. The was one DVD release a while back, and it only showed the pilot epsisodes.
